At the
last Social Weekend of the PDG’s Association it was suggested that we
should strike a Lapel Pin for Past District Governors.

After a
lot of discussion about design and shape, Past District Governor John
Gillham came up with a suitable design.

Because
the association has no Bank Account as such, all members decided that we
should pay a substantial amount to cover the cost of the badges and
create a small surplus to cover required expenses for Postage, Flowers,
and Cards that pop up throughout the year.

The
Lapel Badge is now a reality, has been purchased and is now in the
process of being issued to members. The basic agreed condition for
having a Pin is that you must be a member of the “The Past District
Governor Association of Tasmania”, and have paid your Lifetime
Membership Fee, except in the case of PDG Doug Omond who was presented
with a Pin in recognition of his dedicated work for the Multiple
District 201 PDG Association.

All the
Past District Governors in Tasmania agree that the Lapel Pin will add
prestige to there Past achievements and make them recognisable among
their fellow Lions.

We are interested to know if any other PDG association in Australia, or
indeed the International scene has seen fit to strike a PDG Lapel Pin.
